Hi I already posted on the new member thread, but I was asked to post some pictures of my pipes. I've been smoking cigarettes time to time, usually at parties and I was really intrigued by pipe smoking from the LOTR movies. So I found this website, lurked for a bit and now I've gotten in fully into it.
The top being my brand new Luna pipes Hobbit churchwarden (I haven't had a chance to smoke it yet as it arrived this morning.)
The bottom is an unbranded French Briar from ebay which I have been using to get into pipe smoking, so I am more experienced before I begin to break in my more expensive Hobbit pipe.
I've also been smoking two blends from James Barber (UK)
1. Black Bourbon :- smells fantastic in the packet, tasted like ash, so I won't be smoking that again, almost made me quit pipe smoking all-together.
2. Old Judge :- much more pleasant taste, though a little bland, though that may mean my palette needs developing.
So could other people in the UK point me in direction of some good blends I can buy over here to expand my smoking experience and just general advice?
Thanks.
